[jhorne@athena ~]$ cat /etc/hosts|grep cvsup 192.168.0.1 cvsup13.us.freebsd.org ... just make it time out. i wonder if there is a mechanism in the fastest_cvsup to make it deliberatly exclude specific cvsup repositories. on a side note... what was the file again to check in your sources, to tell you the version you have just downloaded? cheers, jonathan
